I enjoy Alex's solo projects too. Alex's country albums, and then there's Alexx doing blink songs, and we can't forget about Ahlex, and his gospel covers!
So catchy though, but yeah, me either. As an adult I’m still shocked my parents didn’t give my uncle the third degree when I got their debut album as a birthday present from him.
Man. I forget HOW much I liked Third Eye Blind back in The Day. All of those (and these) were HEAVILY on rotation when I was ...most likely too young for a few of the lyrics
I think I finally have to admit that the late 90s post-grunge genre might be my favorite. It just took a dude and four of his best buds to do a capella.
I came to the comments to say the same. As I was listening to the first songs, I was thinking Faster would be a great one in this format. Cheers Alex, good stuff
I love the second verse "they sky was gold it was rose i was taking sips of it through my nose" the synchronization of the vocals and the rhythm are incredible on that part, hits so hard
Out of the Vein is a CRIMINALLY underrated album. For my money, it captures just as much of their sound and energy as the self titled, even better than Blue.
This reminds me of my friends walking home from the pub at midnight, pissed and all holding each other singing semi charmed life at the top of our lungs. One of my friends took his life a few years back, and hearing this version instantly brought this happy memory of him. Thanks
Super excellent. Out of the Vein is such an underrated album. "My Hit and Run" is probably my favorite TEB song besides the Slow Motion version with the words.
As someone who always sings backup vocals to songs, and always loved being second or third flute in college wind ensemble, I love these a capella videos! I can really get into all the harmonies.
I did a capella in highschool and college and wish I had 5-6 disconnected Alex heads to help me understand arranging better, bc we came with everything on the spot.
the first couple of seconds into the video i thought it was “how’s it going to be” such a great acapella/medley, third eye blind has so many great songs, wish this was longer!!! 😍
I have been multi-instrumentalist since high school, and never gave much thought to vocal arrangements. I now have 2 kids who are in high school (competitive) show choirs, and I have been exposed to this more than ever during my decades as a musician. These recent videos by Alex have actually helped me wrap my head around the vocal arranging, and I am starting to incorporate more into my own writing. Plus, these videos are just damn fun!
I'm really loving seeing all of the Alexes get together and sing songs despite 4 of them leaving the band
Reunion tours are always great, right?
@@baxtermystery exactly

The one Alex was obviously carrying the group though. He had more talent than the rest of them put together.
@@tomnelson6447 Alex was definitely the Bobby Beers of the group. I mean, c’mon, this is Steel Dragon all over again.
the lyrics are wild...i had no business singing this with my full chest at 13
Lol 😅
So catchy though, but yeah, me either. As an adult I’m still shocked my parents didn’t give my uncle the third degree when I got their debut album as a birthday present from him.
Haha I had no idea about the “she does down on me” when It first came out. Never mind the drugs stuff haha
Amazing! Do this again with Jumper, How’s It Gonna Be, and wrap it up with another sleeper: Motorcycle Drive-By.
Another sleeper fave of mine is Narcolepsy.
@@kufitopNarcolepsy is so good!!!
Wounded would also be a great one to hear!
Man. I forget HOW much I liked Third Eye Blind back in The Day. All of those (and these) were HEAVILY on rotation when I was ...most likely too young for a few of the lyrics
Nah we need blink to do jumper. Tom needs add his magic to it.
You singing it somehow REALLY brings out the absolutely filthy lyrics of Stephan Jenkins. Thanks for another banger.
I absolutely ADORE Faster, as well as the entire Out of the Vein album. I'd pay real money for a full a capella version of Faster.
I think I finally have to admit that the late 90s post-grunge genre might be my favorite. It just took a dude and four of his best buds to do a capella.
If this is the new series, I'm 100% down. Can we get RHCP as a barbershop quartet? 😂
No one:
The Meltons: Let's go capella this week.
This man is so incredibly talented, it hurts. Keep up the great work 🙌🏻
DUDE DO MORE OF THIS ITS FUCKING BRILLIANT
Please keep doing these. They're amazing.
Best Sibling/Family Group if ever seen . ❤
Faster is such an underrated song, was very pleasantly surprised to see you cover it 👍🏻 sounds great
I came to the comments to say the same. As I was listening to the first songs, I was thinking Faster would be a great one in this format. Cheers Alex, good stuff
Your sense of harmony really shows up in this one. Great arrangements.
I love the second verse "they sky was gold it was rose i was taking sips of it through my nose" the synchronization of the vocals and the rhythm are incredible on that part, hits so hard
Hopping on the popular demand train. Please continue making these. There is no end to the amount of songs that I'd love to hear in the acapella style.
As a die-hard 3EB fan, this brought joy to my soul. Sharp Knife, God of Wine, and Slow Motion for the next one?
10/10 would buy this cover album.
no one ever talks about Faster, that is such a good song :D Alex a real 3EB OG here
When you’re touring a college campus and your mom thinks the acapella group sounds nice but you’re listening to the lyrics like, “WTF?!”
I NEED a full version of Semi Charmed Kind Life
3EB is one of my all time favorite bands. One of the best concerts I ever went to.
They're so great live!!
Saw them 7 times. Very awesome live
Holy shit, FASTER! Never expected that in a million years, but it's also one of my favorite 3EB songs
Another banger to start out 2024.
Great work.
So glad you did Faster! Huge 3eb fan here, Out of the Vein is their best album IMO
Agreed but the first 4 are all really great.
Agree. Palm Reader, Wake for Young Souls, Blinded... all so good.
Out of the Vein is a CRIMINALLY underrated album. For my money, it captures just as much of their sound and energy as the self titled, even better than Blue.
Faster? True fan right here.
This is so sick honestly, wasn’t expecting to like this so much lol
This is captivating. I'd listen to a whole album of this. Do Green Day next!
Jimmy eat world first.
Yes please. More please. Do more from their first album. Do more harmonic rock from the 90s.
You truly do excellent covers! Covers the way they should be
Faster is great, and I love a lot of their lesser known songs like "Self Righteous", "Graduate", "Wounded" and "Background"
The falsetto on semi charmed was golden. Gave me shivers and chills. I’m sure the vitamin c deficiency is unrelated.
Suspensions for days. Love it. 🥹 Faster was beautiful. More!!
i was not expecting Faster but you nailed it
Words cannot describe how much I love your creativity and talent!! MORE!!
Please make more of these! Casting another vote for Motorcycle Drive-By. (Crystal Baller and Farther might work well too!)
Amazing!
This reminds me of my friends walking home from the pub at midnight, pissed and all holding each other singing semi charmed life at the top of our lungs.
One of my friends took his life a few years back, and hearing this version instantly brought this happy memory of him. Thanks
I didn’t know I needed acapella Alex in 2024….but god dammit did I ever! Dude these are amazing!
Would LOVE to hear "A Thousand July's"... Or any other Song from the "Blue" album. This is Gold!
Ngl, really love these arrangements and am excited to see more.
Can't figure out what's more impressive, the arrangement or the delivery! SO good Alex.
Alex, bro, I'm here for this. 🎉🎉🎉
Literal chills
You're incredibly talented, please keep it up champ!
I LOVE that you decided to include Faster. Fave song from that album.
This video was FAR too short. We definitely need more.
0:00 - Semi-Charmed Life
1:40 - Never Let You Go
2:42 - Faster
❤
Love these a capella songs so much.
The arrangement is awesome here. 10 out of 10 yet again Alex
Thanks for including Faster - that track (and whole album) rules👩🎤
Blue is one of. My favorite albums of all time! I’m so happy to see Never Let You Go get some love!!
2024 year of the Acapella!
Sick!! More 3EB please!!
I want a full semi charmed cover
hell yes! I was worried we'd have to wait a year for Carolers.
Bro thanks for doing “faster”. It’s my fav TEB song and no one ever knows it!
NGL, I wish to hear an EP of acapella... or a radio program, I'm down for either of those
would be cool to get the full a capella cover of Faster
I can't believe how much I actually love this.
About time to defrost this video in time for Christmas. Hoping Father Christmas gives us full versions and some bonus tracks…
You almost forget how good Stephan Jenkin's songwritting is. Almost. This was brilliant. ty....
Well, this is a fricken bop.
3eb is and has been one of my all time favs and finding this video today was absolutely amazing. This is incredible stuff. Truly sensational.
Highlights just how wonderful Third Eye Blind melodies are.... and how talented Alex is!
Holy shit I'm at a loss!! This is amazing!! Do this more!!!
A(cappella) Day To Remember would probably be amazing, just pontificating
Super excellent. Out of the Vein is such an underrated album. "My Hit and Run" is probably my favorite TEB song besides the Slow Motion version with the words.
Self Righteous is amazing too.
😊 was sad when the holidays passed because the carolling Melton's would be leaving. I hope they keep recording all year long!
I LOVE this! My generation to a T, very nostalgic, and done so well!! Thank you very much
I feel like this idea deserves its very own channel.
WHAT..... is this?! And why do i love it so much??! 😂
As someone who always sings backup vocals to songs, and always loved being second or third flute in college wind ensemble, I love these a capella videos! I can really get into all the harmonies.
this is dope
A capella is harder to arrange than most people probably realize. I was in a group in college. Great job on these!
I did a capella in highschool and college and wish I had 5-6 disconnected Alex heads to help me understand arranging better, bc we came with everything on the spot.
If there was a choir the show Glee was missing, it certainly be Alex's acapella group 🤩 Fantastic covers!
BARE NAKED LADIES NEXT! This acapella style would be so fun to hear their music hahaha
I love the track selections, motorcycle drive by is my standout though for 3eb, impressive effort regardless
the first couple of seconds into the video i thought it was “how’s it going to be”
such a great acapella/medley, third eye blind has so many great songs, wish this was longer!!! 😍
give us a part two with Graduate, Blinded and Losing a Whole Year!
You have a chokehold on me for Semi-Charmed Life. I will listen to it no other way lol
Shoutout for including the often slept on, absolute banger that is “Faster”. This is so great!!
Holy mother, is there anything you cant do?? AMAZING!
Dude.... god damn I had chills the whole way through this
The pop punk episode of Glee was my favorite.
I would pay for a full cover of Faster like this. Wow.
Woah Faster is such a deep cut. I appreciate you!
I have been multi-instrumentalist since high school, and never gave much thought to vocal arrangements.
I now have 2 kids who are in high school (competitive) show choirs, and I have been exposed to this more than ever during my decades as a musician.
These recent videos by Alex have actually helped me wrap my head around the vocal arranging, and I am starting to incorporate more into my own writing.
Plus, these videos are just damn fun!
For being just a straight-up amazing Pop/Rock band, 3EB has probably had the biggest influence on modern Pop/ Punk and Emo. Love it.
Damn dude, always raising the bar with each release! Still waiting for the a cappella album!
I was expecting to find this funny, and I did. I wasn’t expecting it to be so solid! Great job!
This is how i hear the song in my head. I'm crying
Mad respect for Faster! Gonna give that album a listen, it’s been 10 years at least!
Same !
This video reminded me how much of a banger that song is.
That album is so underrated
nice job! out of the vein is a super underrated album.
so nice and smooth! Faster sounded so nice in Acapella!
Brilliant, Alex!!!! Calling this a 'cover' will be an insult to your genius! Thank You for this rendition.
Alex and the Meltones kills it again!
Wasn't expecting their first album to do so well with capella. Though I shouldn't be too surprised considering they do mix in some capella moments.
The facial expressions for each part are so sublime. I’m rolling over here.
Awesome! Reminds me of Moon Safari, great band ❤
Everything you do is stunning! Thanks!
That sounded way better than I expected! Seriously what a clever idea...
